Visiting the Shut-ins

20 of Mt. Olivet's youth enjoyed Sunday afternoon by visiting 3 of the elder members of the church, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Rawley and Mrs. Daggy. They were all emotionally moved by the attention, the songs, and the hugs the youth shared.

A Week at Laurel Mission






"Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need." 1 Timothy 5:3

A group of 21 from Mt. Olivet traveled to Laurel Mission this week in Big Laurel, KY. The majority of the work was done at the home of a widow lady named Olla Mae. Her floors were rotting out and giving away because of soil washing under the house and around the floor joists. The joists and floor had to be replaced, along with the plumbing. A new shower, water heater and sink were installed. She had never had hot water before. The house is insulated with metal doors screwed to the outside walls. These were rusting and needed to be painted. Then a ditch had to be dug on the back side to divert water away from the house.










Cedar Chapel was sanded and received a new coat of stain. And the clothing store received a trailer load of supplies and was organized.








After hard work comes hard play,









hearty eating,
 


and heavy sleeping.
 

 Thanks to all who participated by praying, by donating and by going.
